Evesham’s first Wargames Festival to help commemorate the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham. Demonstration and participation games from Ancients to the Age of Napoleon, and more, with a Bring & Buy Sale, refreshments and a chance to meet like minded friends.
This will be held at Wallace House Community Centre, Oat Street, Evesham.
This year is the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham so the Wargames Festival is part of the three day Evesham’s Battle Festival on the 1 to 3 August. Other activities include:
Day 1, Friday when Jousts and Tournaments will be held.
Days 2 and 3 will cover our award winning Medieval Festival and Battle Re-enactments.
Carmel Langridge, the Chair of Evesham’s Historical Society, will be sharing her vast knowledge of Evesham from the earliest times.
When a medieval army marched in hostile territory, they fortified their camps where they stayed overnight. At this event, Will Parry, of the House of the Twin Tailed Lions, will transport us into those times.
This is the Society’s Christmas get together at a popular hostelry or retreat. Good food, drink and company to start the seasonal festivities.
Evesham’s annual medieval market will boast fascinating and unique stalls, live entertainment, re-enactment and food and drink. The Society stall is usually based in St Lawrence’s Church.
It is a two day event starting at 10 am on Saturday 17 May (ends 5 pm) and Sunday (10 am to 4 pm).
The organisers are the Evesham Battle Team ( who are members of our Society).
Was there a prototype outlaw for our modern Robin Hood? If there were, was he at the Battle of Evesham?
The lecture will be delivered through Zoom and in person.
A Zoom only meeting featuring an examination of the contrast between life in the medieval hall and the chivalry ideal of life.
Most of the Society’s lectures are in person but because of the likely inclement weather at this time of year the lectures will be given remotely until the spring.
